Well, I agree it's a dumb idea, and I'm not into aftermarket trim stuff, but I personally don't think they look bad, at least the way they are shown in the posted images.

No prob, he likes vinyl roofs and velour upholstery too. Variety is the spice of life.

Back on topic, the fake vents are popular in the lower rent neighborhoods. They are not my favorite styling cliche.

Heh, myself as well. Vegas seems to be full of folks wanting to stick these things on. Saw a primered beat up 80's era Civic with those stuck on the other day.
